Live Webinar: The Appraisal of Special Industrial Property (Non-Credit)

This professional development webinar will examine appraisal theory and practice issues that arise in the context of the appraisal of special industrial properties and that are less common in the appraisal of general commercial real property. In addition to having relatively high values, sometimes into the billions, special industrial properties frequently involve dramatic changes in value in short periods of time. Further they often involve combinations of assets, such as real property, personal property and business intangibles. As a consequence, relatively minor changes in appraisal theories and practices will result in major changes in value indications.

Presenter Mark Pomykacz, MAI, ASA is the managing member of Federal Appraisal LLC. Federal Appraisal is a real estate and business appraisal company, serving national and international clients with complex assets and issues. Mr. Pomykacz has been appraising for 33 years and specializes in the appraisal of complex issues, including commercial real estate and businesses, for legal and accounting purposes. At Federal Appraisal, Mark leads the power plant, utilities, infrastructure and refineries group. Mark regularly works for public companies and governments, and regularly testifies to his appraisals. Mr. Pomykacz regularly lectures and writes on these topics. He won the Swango Award in 2015 for his article on The Appraisal of Power Plants, in the Appraisal Journal. Mr. Pomykacz is also a state certified general real estate appraiser in more than 12 states.
